RainX + Silicon Wipers... Do they mix?

[Adwin]

Changed from original rubber wipers to silicon wipers recently on my civic and realise that the wipers make a squeaking sound.

 

Will putting rainx or any other solutions help?

 

Any advise is appreciated. Thanks.

I use RainX with silicone wiper blades (Hansui), no problem at all, move smoothly and no squeaking even with rainX.

 

a) If you are not using RainX, use a windscreen cleaner to clean the windscreen to see if the problem goes away.

 

b)RainX made normal wiper blade squeak and judder, unless you are sure your wiper blades can take it, do not apply RainX on the windscreen.

 

c)Use another brand of wiper blades,e.g. NWB premium, RainX wiper blades etc.
